I got these two Panzer IVs in trade with my pal Harry. I gave him some old glory 15s Austrian Grnezers and some cavalry so he could start an Army for Maurice. The deal worked out for me as I now have four of these tanks
I stuck with my winter theme for this army. Painting the Panzer first in Valejo paints green ocher followed by a white wash (about 4 parts water to 1 part paint, that's very approximate). Then I finished it off with a dry brush in green ocher and snow flock.
One issue I do want to address is the Schurzen this is the first time I have used Battle Fronts plastic schurzen and it sucks. Half of my brackets broke so each is mounted with two instead of the 4 its supposed to get. I am not inexperienced when it comes to removing pieces from a plastic spruce. These parts look no better than the metal equivalents but are much harder to deal with.
I now have four Panzer IVs to from a platoon to complement my StuGs in a Panzer company. I have Three snow StuGs I will have to get at least one more and I have to decide if want my HQ to be StuGs or Panzer IVs. (I can hear the Panther fans grumbling) I am hoping to get to give this army a spin down at the Whiz this Sunday.

Well here we all are again, stuffed after Christmas and labouring to finish
off our first submissions. In may case labouring once again in the limbo
that...
